The month begins with a young writer who will remind us that age is irrelevant when you have a message to share.

April continues with a novelist who challenges her readers to think about the acceptance of an unconventional romance. The following week brings a leader in the business and sports management world who offers his keys for success. The month of April comes to a close with a writer who makes readers confront their stereotypes surrounding psychological conditions.

On April 2, Sarah Moore will welcome ten-year-old author and illustrator Natalie Tinti to the program to discuss her new book Sewing a Friendship. In this story, four best friends decide to have a “pink sleepover” to celebrate the end of the school year. They are buzzing with excitement over their plans when they encounter their nemesis and elder by two years, Kiki Shaver. As the plot progresses and the chance for confrontation grows, author Tinti develops a way in which all of the girls are able to come together and find common ground. Natalie will be discussing how she developed her characters, what message she hopes her peers will take away from reading the book, and how visual artistry has always been the foundation of her writing.

The podcast series continues on April 16 when Sarah Moore sits down for a conversation with author Martina Vanderley. The two will be discussing Ms. Vanderley’s new book Crossroads at the Wilderness. In this novel, readers meet Leslie Dawson, a middle-aged woman with grown children and a marriage that appears close to ideal from the outside. However, the relationship is stale and without passion, leading Leslie into the arms of a handsome married man during a vacation. When their paths cross again, the two decide that their connection is destiny and the consequences that occur are long-lasting and affect both of their families.

The podcast series ends for the month on April 30, when WITS owner Yvonne Perry will host Vrinda Pendred as a guest. Their discussion about Check Mates (a collection of fiction, poetry and artwork about obsessive-compulsive disorder) will hopefully change a few minds about what neurological disorders really are—not just the limitations, pain or frustration, but also the more positive, beneficial symptoms of mysterious conditions such as OCD, Tourette syndrome, ADHD, Autism, and bipolar disorder. Many times that people with neurological disorders are usually highly creative people (many psychiatrists believe certain nervous disorders might even be a prerequisite to being creative. Vrinda established Conditional Publications to provide a creative outlet for fellow writers living with neurological conditions. http://www.conditionalpublications.com/

Old thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns are housed in the subconscious and our DNA. Our DNA also holds light codes of the original Adam (perfect divine human). When activated, these codes can override and reprogram old beliefs and patterns that keep the body, mind, and emotions sick and in disrepair. Learn how light language can help activate these codes.
